These giant lizards never settle in one place for long. Constantly on the move, they burrow a new hole to rest in and leave as it has eaten and rested. They hunt during the day and rest underground at night. Superstition says that when it takes up dwelling in an area it poisons nearby water sources and brings disease. For this reason, and for their valuable venom sac, they are hunted
